What you need to know

NPD (New Product Development) in the holiday beauty sector focuses on convenience, with travel-sized products and on-the-go claims. However, only 45% of people who have taken a holiday in the last 12 months have purchased beauty/grooming products specifically to use on holiday, suggesting that consumers do not see the need for holiday-specific beauty products.

63% of people who have taken a holiday in the last 12 months agree that travelling can impact the appearance of hair and skin, suggesting that NPD offering a wider range of benefits could encourage purchase in the sector.
